Courses Plus Student 3,948 PointsCommenting out part of a line in Python
Is it possible to comment out part of a line in Python, and not just everything that appears after the "#" until the end of the line?

11,820 PointsNo, # will always comment out everything until the end of the line. Here's the relevant documentation:
A comment starts with a hash character (#) that is not part of a string literal, and ends at the end of the physical line. A comment signifies the end of the logical line unless the implicit line joining rules are invoked. Comments are ignored by the syntax.
And here's a Stack Overflow discussion on the topic, if you're interested.
